You can make super easy and fun educational games (that also help kids LEARN) with nothing more than paper, scissors, glue & a marker. Here's one the boys (5 & 2) really loved!
First, you'll need to make a set of ABC circles:
- Trace circles on construction paper using a small cup (mine are about 2 1/2" big) Check out our recommended craft supplies for a great price!
- Cut them out
- Write all the Letters on the circles. (I made a set of Upper-case Letters, and a set of Lower-case Letters.)
Second, you'll need to create a CAR:
- Cut a simple car shape out of construction paper and glue it onto another piece of paper.
- Add whatever other elements to the scene you want: road, sun, cloud, etc.
- With a marker, draw the circles where the tires should be. This is where the kids will place the letter circles!
- Set out all the letters on the floor or tables.
- Say a letter and have the kids find it in upper-case and lower-case and place them on the car for wheels! (like in the picture up on top) When we played, I had LB(2) look for the upper-case letters and LM(5) look for the lower-case letters.
- You could also say 2 different letters and have them find 2 at a time....
....in upper-case:
....or lower-case:

What a fun little game. I love how you used it to incorporate learning for both your 2 year old and your 5 year old.
This is great. I can imagine doing it with a train with three wheels for early spelling too!
Thank you my son loved this.
I loved this idea for ABC's - It was featured on Homeschool Parent Information Network!
